I have a question for anyone that has watched Simon Castro this year: why is he so inconsistent? He'll have two or three great outings, followed by a couple atrocious games. Is it mechanics, control issues?

It's a shame too because this guy's stuff is out of this world filthy. When you watch him you wonder how does this guy struggle so much?

We keep pushing him as a starter, but you're right rdiv, he's destined for the bullpen. On the bright side, fwiw, his stuff profiles as a top notch closer.

Good for Andy. I always felt that he was underrated as a prospect, since none of his tools really stand out. He just knows how to hit well to both sides of the field. He might have a shot at the big leagues next year.
Edit: 1-4 with that 1 being a double.
